I’m very nervous.’Claire was in a state of tension that she had never felt before. The reason was unknown.Is it because he feels sorry for Oscar or because he is blinded by his incomparable beauty….’I feel like vomiting.’The moment Rafine fights tension.Oscar felt unfamiliar as she looked at Claire, who did not even make eye contact with her with her head bowed.Although it was not a coincidence, but a planned meeting, he was really happy with Rafine… It didn’t seem like Claire.An unknown emotion confused him.It was a strange feeling that was difficult to explain.On the other hand, Claire glanced at Oscar from time to time during the awkward conversation.’How does a person look like that?’There was a reason why Oscar’s appearance was praised on every page in the original work.The jaw line that makes me swallow my saliva, and the eyes full of excellence that make me wonder why they open their eyes like that.Even if you draw it with a picture, you have a nose that seems impossible. Red lips that look moist.’Besides, I have a lot of hair…? It is perfect.’He was so handsome that it didn’t feel real, so there was nothing to say.’Your Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress did a great job.’To be honest, it can be said that the achievement of the two of them was over just by giving birth to Oscar.Even if they didn’t do anything in the future, the achievements of the two men were nothing less than a great contribution to the history of the empire. Just that face is the best welfare in the empire.”Come to think of it, I will be attending this coming-of-age ceremony.””Ah yes. majesty. you’re right.””… yes.”Oscar was unfamiliar with Claire’s tone, significantly different from when he was young.Tell me… It seemed that he would no longer be called as friendly as before.The wind blew through it as if there was a hole in the corner of my chest for nothing.”I, then, I will… I came here because Her Majesty the Empress said that she had something to say.””Oh yeah. I took too much time.””no. It is an honor to be able to speak with His Majesty.”Claire bowed her knees in such a respectful way and left.Oscar stood blankly as if he was the only one left in this world and looked at Clair’s back.* * *In the original story, Oscar was a very blunt and cold man. So the nobles of the capital city admired him, but never approached him.’But now it’s different from the original, so it will be more popular.’As a result of our conversation today, Oscar had good manners, unlike the image in the original, which was drawn lightly.His low but soft voice and tone were perfect.’Okay, the opponents I’m facing will be satisfied.’Claire’s heart swelled with the thought of making Oscar’s love business successful. With such a thrilling gait, he hummed a hum
and headed towards the Crystal Palace.* * *Unsurprisingly, the reason the Empress called Rafine was for counseling.And the empress’s worries….”So, I tried to pick out some of the noble girls who would be okay… It didn’t feel right at all.”Naturally, it was the problem of Oscar’s marriage.The Empress tilted her teacup with a worried expression on her face. After listening to her concerns, Claire fell into her thoughts.After Oscar returned to the capital, the Empress is said to have been contemplating choosing who could be Oscar’s marriage partner.But it didn’t seem like it was at all.If the Empress had been ordinary, she would have chosen candidates from her out-of-town family.But the Empress already knows it well from her past experience.’The thing that the emperor checks the most is that the power of the foreign family grows.’That is why we do not recklessly recommend foreign families as talents or present them as candidates for the Crown Princess.’Because it is a matter of another dimension for the nobles to just gain power and for the foreign powers to gain power.’So, although the emperor was tolerant of other nobles, he was resolute when it came to the appearance of the empress.’You can’t choose a candidate from the outlying family, so you won’t like it even more.’Claire guessed the Empress’s mind like that.’But don’t worry, Your Majesty.’The candidate list prepared by Rafine was perfect. It was not an outside force of the Empress, nor was it a force that prevailed on the side of Viscount Tedler.A close-neutral, educated family of scholars, a long-established knightly family with little interest in politics, a family that produced diplomats from generation to generation, etc.All of them were young children of a family that the Empress was satisfied with.”Your Majesty, don’t worry too much.””How can you not worry? If Oscar meets a good mate soon, he will be stable in many ways….”The empress’s voice filled with a desire for Oscar to be happy.Claire wanted Oscar to be happy as well.’Because it shouldn’t flow into waste like the original.’Claire put her hand on the back of the empress’s hand and said with sincerity.”Your Majesty the Crown Prince will surely meet a good person.””….””Besides, the Crown Prince had a friendly personality.””Affection…?”Claire nodded her head.The Empress frowned awkwardly and glanced at Claire with meaningful eyes.’It means that Oscar is kind to Claire…?’The Empress was surprised by Claire’s words. No matter how cold Oscar was, he was too cold.After returning from the battlefield, they were still the same even after seeing each other after a long time.Of course, even his inner feelings were not like that, but Oscar was a character who could not express his feelings well. ‘Maybe it’s because of the resemblance to His Majesty the Emperor….’The emperor and the empress also did not show their true feelings and were cold-hearted towards everyone.It’s gotten a little better now that she’s gotten older, but when she was young, she wasn’t as good as Oscar.But that Oscar was kind to Claire…!’I hope Claire and Oscar get along well….’In fact, that was the heart of the Empress.I have been greedy as much as I have watched Clair since I was a child. You won’t find such a kind and cute child anywhere else.Besides, she has grown up beautifully and is approaching her coming-of-age ceremony.The thought of Claire getting married to another nobleman Yeong-sik was a waste of time and she was going crazy.Honestly, now I feel like a daughter, so it was a waste for Oscar.It is said that a child who is kind and shows a face often is the best, but to the empress, Claire was such a feeling.Whenever he has a chance, he comes to ask about his health, whether he eats or not, talk with him, and bring a heartfelt gift….Even small gestures of thought have come a long way.To the Empress, Claire has now become a very precious existence.Claire thought that the Empress was still gloomy and added.”Besides, your Majesty is really good looking.””Hmm, yes.””I also want the Crown Prince to be happier than anyone else. Don’t worry too much, I’ll pray with you, Your Majesty.””You are always the only one who comforts me.””Your Majesty will be sad if you hear it.””Hey, who’s sad? Doesn’t His Majesty the Emperor know
that he will die if you say it?”At that, Claire smiled a little.After tea time was over and Claire returned, the Empress pondered the conversation she had just had before.Claire said that Oscar’s appearance was outstanding.Anyone who has met Oscar would think so.But even Claire said this. I want Oscar to be happier than anyone else.You can’t say that if you don’t have a heart.Would you like to look forward to it?’The Empress narrowed her eyes. Seeing that Oscar was also kind to Claire… There was no possibility.She immediately called the attendant and ordered.”Bring the Crown Prince right now, I have something to tell you in a hurry. hurry!””Yes, His Majesty.”* * *Meanwhile, Oscar, who heard the news, sighed deeply.Clearly, the words to be conveyed in a hurry, at least in part, were a desire to get married.As soon as they returned to the capital, preparations for the wedding of Elliot and Cybill began, which made Oscar busy. It was because of the nagging of the royal couple.The two said that the day was far away and called Oscar to urge them to hurry up and get married.Oscar knew very well that he had to get married.There is no need to be in a hurry, but in order to secure the throne, the sooner the better.But I wondered if there was any need for such a rush.The second prince, Antonio, was not such a threat to him. Once the center of power, the empress was also away from the palace for a long time and had just returned to the capital.Of course, you don’t know what will happen in the future, so it’s better to hurry, but….Oscar put away the complicated thoughts and moved on. I had to listen to nagging, so I wanted to hear it quickly and finish it.However, what he heard from the Empress upon arriving at the Crystal Palace was unexpected.”Oscar, do you remember when you were a child, Claire begged you to marry me?””… Why are you bringing up that story all of a sudden?””Claire visited a while ago. When I see… It seems that Claire still has feelings for you.”The Empress decided that the two had a little heart, but they were towards each other. So I decided to try pushing Oscar with some irrational numbers.
